Nothing really much to say. We matched last Thursday, I think. I was astonished because she was actually really attractive. We messaged on Tinder that night and then swapped numbers the next day. Over the next two days we talked and ended up having a lot in common. Same musical taste for the most part, same outlook on life. She was a staggering 4 inches taller than me but she has a great body I didn't want to pass up.

Originally, we planned for her to come hangout at my house because we have room and she is welcome but I think she got scared last minute. So to compromise I told her I would go to her first and we would just meet in public. I drove about 45 miles to see her, we met at a place called Colonial Williamsburg and walked around a bit. Lots of cool history stuff to look at. We even pet a horse! After that we decided to pick up some trees from her friend and go see a movie. We saw Dawn of The Planet of The Apes (fucking fantastic by the way). We held hands and made out a bit, nothing too crazy. Afterwards, she had to go home because it was getting late. Overall it was a pretty good time. Hope to see her soon.

Well, a lot of what she was saying seemed to be in an off-humor manner, but here's a couple things that come to mind first.

•Aimed to be a home wrecker by 25.

• The person she bought trees from "raped her friend." When I asked her to explain, she said that her friend, "Said no, but didn't resist and just had sex with him anyways." So I asked why she bought from him and she said that it was just that cheap.

• Seems a little bi-polar. Totally sweet and flirty one moment, irritated and uninterested in talking the next (she apologized for this).

• She went on a date with me, instantly in the weird category for doing such a thing.

• I told her it was my first time ever meeting someone from the internet and she said that I was lucky that she didn't have her knife on her.

If she is bipolar than the anxiety of the date could of been setting her off. My fiancee is bipolar and the first few days she had a hard time with holding a steady mood. (She also was off her medicine which we took care of). Bipolar is tied to stress so it isn't hard for an SO to help with.

I actually learned 1st hand recently that Tinder is likely a very different experience for Males/Females. I actually met with a girl from it (surprisingly successful) and she wanted to try Tindering from a guys perspective. So I let her use it for a bit and we had our laughs. I now also have a very interesting match and saucy conversation with E.T. Anyways, I bet her that we would log into her phone, like the first guy, and it would be a match. Lo and behold, it simply was.

I feel like Tinder is a dude showcase for girls, while guys essentially like every face they would so much as think about talking to. I admitted to her that I had no recollection of seeing her in my queue before we were a match. She specifically remembers putting a lot of thought into my profile when it came up.

The man way is illustrated in the gif, but that is just the beginning. The next step is to make some kind of non-sequitur or crude joke and pray it works. If you get a positive reaction, ask on a date. If not, move on. Tinder moves fast.

Same for me, and I don't consider myself above average attractiveness even. I do try to have interesting photos that give something to discuss. I don't "like" more than half the women I see. I have close to 100 matches in about 6 weeks. And have been on 7-8 dates from there. And for reference, I am also 43 so perhaps the demographic is different.

i mean thats how it is in real life too, though. hence the age old, "fish in the sea" metaphor. We just cast out our lure to the whole sea of women and try to catch whoever nibbles with our best moves. heh

If you're good looking enough sure... Seen some guys get away with saying some outrageous/objectification/'sexist' stuff on tinder and get the girl biting and continuing the convo... though if the girl isn't attracted to you, you will come off as a creep.

That's the thing with this that I don't understand at all. You get your matches then actually talk and then everyone turns out to have the personality of a dead fish. I think I've actually spoken to about 2 people that were genuinely interesting.

My short time on online dating seems that people get in comfort zones online and don't like to get past that. Chatting with a person online isn't the same as talking to them in person so you're still not getting the best representation.

I find from my experience, and with others, you're more likely to hit it off with someone if you can meet them in person. And your odds of meeting with someone are higher the sooner you can.

its all about the moments bro. i put moments out like every other day of random ass shit and new girls message me about it pretty much every time. i'm not really in need of getting laid by randoms so i just use it for fun.

Source: Spam 'yes' on Tinder while I play browser games (think runescape) to maximise my chances. If I match with someone I'm not interested in, I can easily just unmatch them. There's really no reason not to use the app this way if you're only looking for sex/are a guy.

Men get very little amounts of "likes back" on tinder, unless they are very attractive.
When I started, I was picky with who I was matched up with, then I quickly realised how shit the tactic was, considering I was getting very little amounts of matches, so I liked every girl and sifted through the ones who were "Average/Above Average"

I used to do this but I end up blocking too many people and it's just a waste of time. It's also awkward when people message you first and you don't have any interest in them because you were doing this sort of tap-athon style liking (especially when you know them in some loose manner). Currently sitting at 346 matches started at the beginning of April. Put something funny or interesting in the form of question in your profile it helps break the ice and girls will message you about it! Best of luck.

It's awkward if you know them in some manner. For example I did the tapathon method for about a week and a half and had a person from high school I knew that I would not have swiped right under normal circumstances. They messaged me and I had to awkwardly decline them. We have a lot of mutual friends and the situation was just off putting. I have no problem turning someone down (such is life) but under this method you swipe right on some people you normally would not want to. Hope that clarifies :-)

It's the only way for guys to operate when it comes to internet when it comes to dating sites. Doesn't matter if you're talking Tindr or OKC or whatever, guys have to play the numbers game unless they're in the top maybe 5% in looks.

This is it. At least for now it's the only viable way to actually have conversations with the app. If both parties were as selective as women are on dating sites no one would ever use them due to lack of communication. Ask any woman on OKC how full her inbox is, and how hard it is to sift through. Her male counterpart has an empty inbox after messaging dozens of people. Just how it is.

I suppose in a perfect world both binary genders would message a similar amount, but that goes against centuries of social programing.

its not that it goes against social programming, its that women don't have to. why would they expose themselves to the rejection that guys go through when they don't have to cause theres literally 100 guys expressing interest in them.

I'm pretty sure a lot of straight dudes do that. I'm very obviously a man on my profile and I set myself as a girl for laughs and got over a hundred matches in a couple days. Tinder puts people who have said yes to you first so I just set myself as a girl, waited a couple hours, then swipe right till I stopped matching with people. Rinse and repeat.

When I signed up for kik I used my first name and no profile picture. I set my gender as male, but I don't think that shows up on the initial profile view. I happen to have a somewhat feminine name. Within ten minutes about six guys messaged me, most of them commenting on how gorgeous I was. I ended up talking to one guy for a couple minutes, hinting I was a guy, but he wasn't catching on. Then he sent a dick pic. Social experiment over, changed name to something involving robots, and barely heard from anyone after that.
